Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 concerning 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed collections of information, the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

will publish periodic summaries of 

proposed projects. To request more

to obtain a copy of the information 

collection plans, call the SAMHSA 

Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–

1243. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility;

Proposed Project: National 

Methamphetamine Use Prevention 

Initiative—NEW 

Prevention of Methamphetamine 

Abuse grants are authorized under 

section 519E of the Public Health 

Service Act, as amended. This program 

addresses the growing problem of 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction 

by assisting localities to expand 

prevention interventions that are 

effective and evidence-based and/or to 

increase capacity through infrastructure 

development. According to the 2005 

National Survey on Drug Use and 

Health, 10.4 million Americans age 12 

and older had tried methamphetamine 

at least once in their lifetime. In 

addition, the number of 

methamphetamine users who were 

dependent on or abused some kind of 

illicit drug rose significantly from 

164,000 in 2002 to 257,000 in 2005. The 

goal of the Methamphetamine Abuse 

Prevention grants is to intervene 

effectively to prevent, reduce, or delay 

the use and/or spread of 

methamphetamine abuse. 

Proposed Methamphetamine 

Prevention and Abuse grants will focus 

on conducting community-based 

prevention programs targeting those 

populations within the community that 

are most at risk for methamphetamine 

abuse and addiction. In addition, grants 

may be used for assisting local 

government entities to conduct 

appropriate methamphetamine 

prevention activities in rural and urban 

areas that are experiencing increases in 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction. 

This can be documented by local and 

specific epidemiological, health service 

use, judicial and/or environmental data. 

Activities may include: training and 

educating state and local law 

enforcement officials, prevention and 

education officials, members of 

community anti-drug coalitions, and 

parents on the signs of 

methamphetamine abuse and addiction 

and the options for prevention; 

planning, administration, and 

educational activities related to the 

prevention of methamphetamine abuse 

and addiction; monitoring and 

evaluating of methamphetamine 

prevention activities, and reporting and 

disseminating resulting information to 

the public; or conducting and evaluating 

targeted pilot programs. 

The grantees will be collecting data 

on Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) No. 0930–0230 approved 

National Outcomes Measures (NOMs) 

and program specific questions on 

youth and adult methamphetamine use. 

There are two questionnaire forms: one 

for adults ages 18 and older and another 

for youths under the age of 18. The 

adult and youth questionnaires contain 

40 and 42 questions, respectively, with 

the first 12 questions covering the OMB 

approved NOMs questions. The focus 

areas for the adult questionnaires 

comprise attitudes toward tobacco, 

alcohol, and other substances; attitudes 

and experiences; family relationships, 

relationships with those around you; 

future goals; thoughts, beliefs, and 

experiences related to 

methamphetamines; and thoughts on 

possible effects of methamphetamine 

use. The youth survey focus areas 

include: general information; attitudes 

toward tobacco, alcohol, and other 

substances; attitudes and experiences; 

family relationships; school 

experiences; perceived probability to try 

substances; where they receive 

substance abuse information; thoughts, 

beliefs, and experiences relating to 

methamphetamine; effects of 

methamphetamine use; and how 

comfortable they were with answering 

the survey questions. Additional nonVerDate Aug<31>2005 00:43 Aug 31, 2007 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1
